I found a lovely paper cutting pattern online from Little Acorn’s blog and decided to make it into a cool handmade card. I had also seen the spotlight on this pattern from Craft Magazine’s blog as well, so had to give it a try. It was great to do a bit more paper cutting with my trusty X-acto knife, trying to sharpening my skills, if you know what I mean!
The pattern is a large heart with squirrels inside, sort of in love and centered symmetrically around the inner heart. Very cute and not very difficult to cut out, if you print it as a pretty large pattern. My first attempt was actually thrown away because I printed it really small for a tiny card, but realized I couldn’t cut out the pattern properly (maybe when I have more advanced skills) So I ended up printing the pattern about 5 inches tall and then it was pretty simple to cut out. I stuck it on pink notecard paper and tah-dah! It’s ready to be sent off with a personal message written on the back. Nice!
